Title: Eduard January release
Post by: jeff shreve on November 30, 2014, 11:40:22 AM: See in their newsletter they are relaesing a Albatros D.Va profilpack in January. Doubt if the lg will be corrected. Think it's been awhile since the D.Va has been available.

Funny thing is the "Old" Abatros is actually a re- tool of their first DV/Va. Too bad Eduard didn't correct the gear when they originally changed the molds. That being said, new gear and wheels will do the trick, except for the wings. The DVa lacks the cut out and control? rod on the Ailerons. Not hard to correct but a detail Roden and WNW have caught in all of their kits.

The wheels in the Eduard DV/DVa, while not as detailed as some after market replacements, have been corrected for some time now. Sadly, the landing gear struts have not.
